EMET is most useful to help protect down-level systems, legacy applications, and to provide Control Flow Guard (CFG) protection for 3 rd party software that may not yet be recompiled using CFG.
With Windows 10 we have implemented many features and mitigations that can make EMET unnecessary on devices running Windows 10. Since that time, we have made substantial improvements to the security of the browser and the core OS. Support for untrusted fonts mitigation in Windows 10ĮMET was released in 2009 as a standalone tool to help enterprises better protect their Windows clients by providing an interface to manage built-in Windows security mitigations while also providing additional features meant to disrupt known attack vectors used by prevalent malware.
EAF/EAF+ pseudo-mitigation performance improvements. Improved writing of the mitigations to the registry, making it easier to leverage existing tools to manage EMET mitigations via GPO. Improved configuration of various mitigations via GPO. Today we are pleased to announce the release of EMET 5.5, which includes the following new functionality and updates: In this way, EMET can help protect your computer systems even from new and undiscovered threats before they are formally addressed by security updates and antimalware software. It does this by anticipating, diverting, terminating, blocking, or otherwise invalidating the most common actions and techniques adversaries might use to compromise a computer. The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) benefits enterprises and all computer users by helping to protect against security threats and breaches that can disrupt businesses and daily lives.
